JFileChooser and system look and feel

I have a problem with the GUI of my filechooser. I use system look and feel (WinNT), and when I draw the dialog, the Files of type combobox is wrong painted. The size isn't correct (too big). Any suggestions?

Why my System Look and feel got corrupted ??

HI ,
I have written a simple swing app which consists of jtextarea in a jscrollpane , and a jbutton, in which the textarea is updated with random text.
I decided to change the theme to native look&feel and so i included the
UIManager.setLookAndFeel(UIManager.getSystemLookAndFeelClassName() );
in the constructor ..
but the components went messy in the output !!!
It'sn't a system look and feel ..
I tried inserting in a static block before the constructor and tried changing the theme ... but in vain
take a look

HT201342 I cannot find any place to "Go to Mail Preferences". I have tried looking under both "Mail" and "System Preferences" and there is nothing there entitled "Mail Preferences". Where is that button located?

The instructions say "Go to Mail Preferences."
I cannot find any place called "Mail Preferences". I have tried looking under both "Mail" and "System Preferences" and there is nothing there entitled "Mail Preferences". Under "Preferences" there is no subheading as described in the iCloud instructions. Where is that "Mail Preferences" button located?

Open Mail, go to the 'Mail' menu, select Preferences.

How can I include a JSP, Maximized, and retain look and feel(WSRP)

I have created a page group and defined a root page with a certain look and feel. There are two portlets on the page. Once the user clicks on a submit button, the portlet performs some action and includes a jsp included in the EAR file. The portlet needs to maximize the UI to display the jsp correctly.
Once control returns back to the screen, the look and feel is lost and uses Oracle's default style. I have two questions:
1. From the portlet, how can I retain the look and feel of the page group when referencing "external" jsp (i.e JSPs in the deployed portal EAR file).
2. How can I "redirect" the user to the home page in a standard way? If there is not a standard way, how do I use the Oracle specific utilities to do it?
All of my JSPs are developed externally out of the scope of the Oracle Portal.
Environment - Oracle Portal 10.1.4 on Release 2 using WSRP to contact Oracle Release 3, hosted EAR file (WSRP Producer).
Thanks in advance.

Hi José,
I don't think that is possible. But you can import the css files that ep uses for its look and feel and try to give your web pages similar look and feel. The tables and other controls used in EP are totally different and are done through complex JavaScript coding instead of simple HTML tags. If you want exact lok and feel then i thin you must go for a Webdynpro based application rather then a J2EE application with JSPs.

Guru.

Extending JComboBox behavior and changing look and feel

In order to change JComboBox behavior, usually we will extend the MetalComboBoxUI or WindowsComboBoxUI (for example: for controlling the popup width)
The problem arise when we want to be able to change the pluggable look and feel: all components got the new look and feel except for the comboboxes.
A dirty solution can be extending our ComboBoxUI from the new look and feel library but in the case of jgoodies it is even impossible because PlasticComboBoxUI is final
Any ideas?

JTree Button, Line and Java look and feel ?

Hi all,
I have 3 small problem with my JTree ..
1) The 'expand' button size ...
I set a different Icon for each node in a getTreeCellRendererComponent method (from a class that extends DefaultTreeCellRenderer )...
The icon are 32x32 pixels.. .and the RowHeight and the Font have been changed too. .
How to change the size of the expand button (+/-) near the text node ? Because on my JTree, the expand/collapse buttons are really small compare to the icon & row height.
2) No line appear between the node ...
I try to set the line style property with -> putClientProperty("JTree.lineStyle", "Angled"); in the JTree constructor OR in the DefaultTreeCellRenderer constructor .. but it doesn't work :/
3) How to set a Java look and feel for my JTree (actually, I have a Windows look and feel ..)
I know .. I have grouped 3 question in the same topic ...
If anyone can help me on one of these subjects. .. Thanks !
Regards,
Didier

So, the Problem 1) is solved ..
About the Problem 2)
I put the code UIManager.setLookAndFeel(new javax.swing.plaf.metal.MetalLookAndFeel()) in the main method, like
//Main method
public static void main(String[] args) {
    try {
      UIManager.setLookAndFeel(new javax.swing.plaf.metal.MetalLookAndFeel());
    catch(Exception e) {
      e.printStackTrace();
    new MainApplication();
}But it only set a Java L&F on the spliter, and on the toolbar contained in my application... Any idea why the title bar is not changed too ?
(The title bar stay with a Window$ XP L&F ...)
About the problem 3)
When I set the L&F->UIManager.setLookAndFeel(UIManager.getSystemLookAndFeelClassName()); then the lines appear .. ??!! .. if I set again the previous value UIManager.setLookAndFeel(UIManager.getSystemLookAndFeelClassName()); .. then the lines desappear ..

Why cant UIManager get system look and fell (sometimes)

heres what i use:
try{
IManager.setLookAndFeel(UIManager.getSystemLookAndFeelClassName());
catch(Exception exception){}
most of the time this executes fine, but some times the program wont run and i get this error message in a txt file. It starts out like this:
An unexpected exception has been detected in native code outside the VM...
I think this may occur more often when im opening alot of programs at the same time
any help good

I would have thought if it could not find windows look and feel it would go to default l&f not give this error...

Motif look and feel

if i run the following code,it displayes a dialog with missing title text
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
import javax.swing.UIManager;
public class TestMotif {
     * @param args
     public static void main(String[] args) {
          try
               //UIManager.setLookAndFeel(UIManager.getSystemLookAndFeelClassName());
               UIManager.setLookAndFeel("com.sun.java.swing.plaf.motif.MotifLookAndFeel");
          } catch (Exception e) {
               // TODO Auto-generated catch block
               e.printStackTrace();
          JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "done", "Confirmation Dialog for testing",
                    JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE);
in motif look and feel(system look and feel for solaris os)the dialog size is dependent on the message text length not on tilte text length.
whereas in other look and feel the dialog size is dependent on both message and title text length.I raisedn it in sun's bug but didnt get any reply.Can anyone tell how can it be fixed in jre level.
Edited by: AGS_CONTACT on Jun 30, 2008 11:07 AM

It's not the answer you want to hear, but it's pretty simple:
Write your own JDialog subclass that implements the behavior you want. It should be pretty straightforward to write a JOptionPane message dialog clone.

NetBeans: Dinamically changing Look and Feel Problem

Hi there, Java lovers.
I need some help here!
I love java, and I used to program my graphical user interfaces by hand. In my applications, there is a dropdown for the user to chose the desired look and feel. Then I save the selected option to a file and on the startup I do something like this:
UIManager.setLookAndFeel(savedUserSelectedLookAndFeel);That always worked really fine. The look and feel would change and everything worked really well.
However, programing GUI by hand is really a PITA. So I was seduced by Netbeans. I am using Netbeans 6.0 on Windows XP, and I designed the GUIs really fast now.
The problem is, the system look and feel works really well, but when I change the look and feel of my application to a different one (Java/Motif/etc..) the look and feel changes but the components positions and sizes becomes all messed up. It really becomes impossible to work with a different look and feel because some components are outside of frames.
I believe the cause of this is because Netbeans generates the code automatically using Grids and stuff like that, and by doing so, the change of the look and feel becomes messed up. This is a thing that would not happen with my manually created code.
This is really troubling me. Does someone has the same problem. Is there something I can do? Or do I need to create my GUIs by hand like before?

Modifying Quiz look and feel

This question has likely been asked before, but I did a
search of the forum and couldn't find a specific posting. My
company has just purchased me a copy of Captivate 2, so some of it
is a bit new to me.
My question is....
Can the visual components of a quiz slide (such as the button
style) be modified directly in Captivate 2? I get how to modify the
player controls, but can't seem to find any files where I can do
the same to quiz slide components.
If I can not do this directly in Captivate, would I be able
to do this without breaking anything, by exporting a project to
Flash?
The company I work for would like to customize (think
"branding") the Captivate generated controls and general look and
feel of a finished project. This would be so that different, less
technical developers, could create materials that had the same
style.
Any resources anyone can point me toward would be
appreciated.
Thank you,
TPK

I agree the leather look is horrible. It's just not a reflection of the cutting edge modern design we have all got to love over the years. If it has to be there at least give us a choice of looks.
There is a word for this (not that one) - skeuomorph. Wikipedia defines this as 'a derivative object that retains ornamental design cues to a structure that was necessary in the original. Skeuomorphs may be deliberately employed to make the new look comfortably old and familiar'.
Common examples are found in audio software with pictures of actual knobs that you turn, as here; and the leather-bound tear-off look of calendar and contacts on the iPad is the same principle: the intention is to make it familiar and friendly to people who might otherwise be frightened off by a modern look because they are not used to modern technology. The whole concept and look of the iOS operating system is being brought into use on Macs for the same reason, to encourage non-tech-savvy people not to be frightened of them.
This is all very well in its way, but in these two particular cases the result is unfortunate, particularly for experienced users, and it really ought to be possible to choose between the looks (as you can with the Mail layouts), even if the skeuomorph is the default.

How to determine the system color and set them for my app?

Hi,
I'd like to set the colors of my application to the system's colors. Especially the backgrounds of my JPanels, JButtons and so on should look like in the operating system. If you change the systems color scheme, my application looks really wierd with it's grey canvas an components and the border and menu of the window is displayed in the system's colors.
any idea??

The UIManager only seems to have control over
awt-controls. All swing controls are not listed, when
you try this:
UIDefaults defaults =
UIManager.getLookAndFeelDefaults();
for(Iterator i = defaults.keySet().iterator();
ator(); i.hasNext();)
String name = (String)i.next();
System.out.println(name);
}It would be nice to have it set globally somewhere in
the program.
koemActually, the truth is quite the opposite, the UIManager only has control over swing components.
There are many ways you can set these globally. You can sublcass your own look and feel, use the system look and feel, call UIDefaults.put() etc.

Its time to have version and system information in signatures!

This has been brought up in the past but never instated or got past the start line..
The posts now cover even more versions (and system variables) and its time wasting chasing down the undisclosed information that is sometimes crucial to the issues.
No offense to the OP but here is but one recent example.
Why isn't it possible to ripple delete an in and out area of a track from the timeline while in the same in and out area…
The information would have been helpful in that case because it was half the issue. First half was easy.
Another example is Users looking for Mask Tools in FX because they see them in tutorials with out realising they are in newer versions from what they have.
Its just logic that an answer, discussion or a question is based on the most fundamental of information. It needs to be supplied somehow and obligatory.
Thoughts .....

I agree, but then there are users who dont update their signature.
Its in their interest to do so. At the moment no one has an opportunity to provide any info either way.
...and we will let them know that if they mislead us by being lazy.
The choice is also to ignore those that dont supply a sig with any info...and it might save some of the "Supply more info " type responses.

HP system restore and factory reset not completing

Hello.
1: Person tried a system restore to fix a user profile problem but once booted the OS changed the user profile to "temporary" every time, checked the original profile but only the avatar was left , all other personal info was gone.
      Working through "profiles list" in the registry and setting back to the original user profile from temp profile didn't work and went back to temporary.
      Complete erasure reset of all user profiles includig in the registry didn't work either. Went back to temporary profile.
      It was no use to save any files while the OS was in this stat as every reboot would remove the files including in the temp profile.
2: Tried all basic boot/DOS HP recovery for installed windows OS with no success, all system restore backups back several months failed.
3: Tried a factory reset twice and while it did restore for the most part with the automated drivers installed the HP recovery returns an error that factory reset did not or could not complete itself. This was attempted twice.
      While one could shut down the HP error screen in windows 8 and continue the failed reset booting error was still logged and it defaults to the HP receovery which ends up looping over and over again.
       while still in windows once the HP error is closed one can goto the usual user name and password so that was done twice and with the simplest password.
       Problems compounded when the OS rebooted and asked for user name and password, which returned "not valid" over and over again.   One time i entered the user "administrator" with the password "admin" and it worked, it started loading but then returned invalid username or password. Point being that that was not the actual user name and passowrd that was chosen and confirmed.
       This part of the problem is the same as the first problem
3A: I wiped the main and system partitions and reformatted them and ran then HP factory reset once again, it restored faster than the first attempt, however it dropped to the same username/password error and i can't even get into safe mode any longer.
Again the system boot sequence registeres the restore as incomplete but i can boot select OS which is how i am able to get into windows to test the User/pass.
4: I beleive that there is hardware malfunction with the hard drive controler in this system as i noticed that UEFI is intermitant no matter what settings you set in the BIOS/CMOS. When UEFI boot CD/DVD does appear in the boot selection it can't detect the cd/dvd drive or a USB drive "invalid device".
     Many of the boot options even when set in the bios will not always appear in the boot selector on every power up that includes legacy.
      While i can boot from CD/DVD with the legacy boot selection. I can't install windows 8 or 7 becasue the HD is A GPT and without UEFI i don't get advanced options in the windows OS install partition setup. Windows 7 or 8 won't install becasue the HD partition is a GPT format even after i wipe those paritions and make new ones with basic NTFS.
      I could LLF the HD and hope that i could install windows 7 but the UEFI being intermitent would probably return the same resutls as the HP factory reset.   Similar problem with older computers when enabling AHCI in windows.
     If i LLF the HD i loose the HP recovery completely.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Hello.   The laptop is an HP Pavilion dv6 notebook PC
I have since LLF'd the HD and installed windows 8.1. It's still touchy but it's working for the time being.
A: The laptop's owner did a standard windows system restore
B: I did two windows system restores as well as backups.
C: Yes i usd the F11 at boot recovery system to run windows system restores, cleanings, and finally the factory reset. Which is obvious as i stated above that if wiped both main windows partitions and it helped the factory restore speed so only restoring an image will replace the OS on the now empty partition.
D: No i didn't keep the failed restore logs as they were randomly scrambled with all the recover cycle loops (both times).
Also i should mention that the factory restore once it failed the completion i got "insufficient sapce" error as well which i am guessing that it's trying to write the log file.
If memory serves there was only 40mb left on the recovery partition. Yes MB not GB.
